Establishing a Gratitude Practice
Establishing a Gratitude Practice
Gratitude is one of the best tools to combat shame, negative self-talk, stress and disconnection. It has been proven to reduce cortisol in the body, reframes the way you think about and engage in the world and can turn down the volume on negative self talk.
The act of a practice means that it is something that you engage in with regularity. It does not have to be perfect in order to be a successful practice. It is about committing to the work and finding how to best implement a gratitude practice into your life in a meaningful and sustainable way.
This worksheet will walk through several example practices as well as give you a list of different gratitude questions you can use to begin thinking more about what you are grateful for.

As a therapist, my goal is to make the concepts, tools and ideas shared and discussed in therapy more accessible for people in and outside of the therapy room so I want to do what I can to help get these tools into the hands of the people that need and want them.
